tcm_init() call iotable_init() and it use early_alloc variants which
do memblock allocation. Directly using memblock allocation after
initializing bootmem should not permitted, because bootmem can't know
where are additinally reserved.
So move tcm_init() to a safe place before initalizing bootmem.

CONFIG_LPAE doesn't exist: the correct option is CONFIG_ARM_LPAE, so fix
up the two typos under arch/arm/.

The fix to head.S is slightly scary, but this is just for setting up
an early io-mapping for the serial port when running on a big-endian,
LPAE system. Since these systems don't exist in the wild (at least, I
have no access to one outside of kvmtool, which doesn't provide a serial
port suitable for earlyprintk), then we can revisit the code later if it
causes any problems.

The ISAR0 register indicates support for the SDIV and UDIV
instructions in both the Thumb and ARM instruction set. Read the
register to detect the supported instructions and update the
elf_hwcap mask as appropriate. This is better than adding more
and more cpuid checks in proc-v7.S for each new cpu variant that
supports these instructions.

Don't advertise support for the SDIV/UDIV thumb instructions if
the kernel is not compiled with support for thumb userspace. This
is in line with how we remove the THUMB hwcap in these
configurations.

<title>ARM: 7587/1: implement optimized percpu variable access</title>

Use the previously unused TPIDRPRW register to store percpu offsets.
TPIDRPRW is only accessible in PL1, so it can only be used in the kernel.

This replaces 2 loads with a mrc instruction for each percpu variable
access. With hackbench, the performance improvement is 1.4% on Cortex-A9
(highbank). Taking an average of 30 runs of "hackbench -l 1000" yields:

Before: 6.2191
After: 6.1348

Will Deacon reported similar delta on v6 with 11MPCore.

The asm "memory clobber" are needed here to ensure the percpu offset
gets reloaded. Testing by Will found that this would not happen in
__schedule() which is a bit of a special case as preemption is disabled
but the execution can move cores.

<title>ARM: kernel: add cpu logical map DT init in setup_arch</title>

<id>5587164eea4aad88fcb79d9b21dc8f14fea598cd</id>
<content type='text'>
As soon as the device tree is unflattened the cpu logical to physical
mapping is carried out in setup_arch to build a proper array of MPIDR and
corresponding logical indexes.

The mapping could have been carried out using the flattened DT blob and
related primitives, but since the mapping is not needed by early boot
code it can safely be executed when the device tree has been uncompressed to
its tree data structure.

This patch adds the arm_dt_init_cpu maps() function call in setup_arch().

If the kernel is not compiled with DT support the function is empty and
no logical mapping takes place through it; the mapping carried out in
smp_setup_processor_id() is left unchanged.
If DT is supported the mapping created in smp_setup_processor_id() is overriden.
The DT mapping also sets the possible cpus mask, hence platform
code need not set it again in the respective smp_init_cpus() functions.

This patch applies some basic changes to the smp_setup_processor_id()
ARM implementation to make the code that builds cpu_logical_map more
uniform across the kernel.

The function now prints the full extent of the boot CPU MPIDR[23:0] and
initializes the cpu_logical_map for CPUs up to nr_cpu_ids.

Currently, reading /proc/cpuinfo provides userspace with CPU ID of
the CPU carrying out the read from the file. This is fine as long as all
CPUs in the system are the same. With the advent of big.LITTLE and
heterogenous ARM systems this approach provides user space with incorrect
bits of information since CPU ids in the system might differ from the one
provided by the CPU reading the file.

This patch updates the cpuinfo show function so that a read from
/proc/cpuinfo prints HW information for all online CPUs at once, mirroring
 x86 behaviour.
